"It was September 7th, 1971 when my mother had me. My mother's name is Linda and she had already had two young daughters, my older sisters, Renee and Peggy. We were raised together in Michigan. It was tough on my mom but she was tougher. We moved to Florida in our early teenage years and our family grew. My mother had Michael, my younger brother, and Michelle, the baby sister. This was my new home town where I grew up and learned a lot. I made a lot of friends and one life long friend who I'd later marry, her name was Robyn. Growing up was tough, but I was tougher. Robyn and I started a family and created a life-long adventure together. We established our careers and I rose up to become a Plant Superintendent over a 19 year career. Robyn and I had two children whom I am very proud of; our first, Alexis, and her younger brother, Dominic. There were tough times, but together, we were tougher. On Friday, April 17th, 2015 I left this world. But not without living my life to the fullest. I loved everything that I did and did everything that I loved. And now it is my time to say goodbye. To all of my family and friends, I know that saying goodbye is tough, but I know that each and every one of you are tougher. I love you all. Love, Dave."
